Albert, we need more context. Aufbereitung can mean many things. For example,

it can mean (water) purification. Does your text deal with storing something

safely until it is time to purify it (later)?

How should I know? It could have something to do with preparing some

medication from a powder, to be used during the procedure 12 hours later. I

translate

such stuff all the time ;-)

Or even very generally " preparation/getting ready for use " ?

Dear ,

There's no more context.

Water purification? Storage? With a craniotome??

And I answered you, ditto Dee: it can mean a whole scad of different thing,

but (as Dee said) they all revolve around the general concept preparing

something. However, the prefix auf- does often (not always) imply - more

specifically

- some cleaning/purification process.

Albert,

I do wish you would read posts more carefully. I never said any such thing. I

said that it COULD also mean 'cleaning/purifying' (and someone else suggested

'disinfecting', which of course is in the same direction and probably

better). To the best of my knowledge, although you do not use it FOR cleaning,

it has

been known to BE cleaned; the syntax doesn't tell us which.

Only you know the exact context; we are only trying to help, and you could

show just a teeny little bit more gratitude, instead of this attitude.

The text sounds like dealing with a medical device. I think Dee's

suggestion fits that context.

Hello Ursula,

I don't understand these remarks, am I missing something? It's about a

craniotome, i.e. about a medical instrument. This a medical list... (I

know, it's hot, too hot for me anyway...)

The question was and is, what they're **doing** when they 'aufbereiten'

the craniotome. Some other translator has used " Reinigen und

Desinfektieren " as meaning of 'Aufbereitung', but I'm not sure if this

is right or not, so I asked for the meaning of 'Aufbereitung'.

Kind regards,

Albert

Hi Albert,

The explanation givn to you, " reinigen und desinfizieren " for " aufbereiten " ,

is correct. This is the way I understand it, and my husband, who is a

physician, has just confirmed it.

HTH

Cornelia - also sweating, it's so hot...

It's too hot in here. So you (and Dee, and Ursula, thank you Dee and

Ursula) think it means " preparing the craniotome " , no more.... I wished

you had said so right away, instead of going on about things one would

never use a craniotome for. Thanks anyway.

Regards,

Albert

Thanks Cornelia, for your short en clear answer.

Thanks, Albert. I must apologize, though. When I read my e-mail again, I found

it sounds conceited. Of course, the fact that I consider something correct does

not necessarily mean that it is objectively correct. I did not mean it the way I

wrote it. Oh, the heat .... ;-))
